There is a big irony in our higher education arrangement in this country. If you check well, it is possible that this young man was already "jammed" by JAMB, or prevented by the post UTME screening before he decided to go to Cyprus as a last result. Many young Nigerians experience that situation.

Every year more than 1.5m young Nigerians sit for JAMB UTME, a larger percent of the candidates fail (according to jamb standards) and yet a larger number dont have space in our higher institutions. Most of these young Nigerians seeks refute in Ghana, Cyprus, Ukraine, Togo, Benin, and other countries. At the end we lose hundreds of Billions of Naira in Foreign Exchange to these countries. And quiet ironically, these "cast away" and "unqualified" candidates come out tops in those foreign schools.
